My Best Friend Esmee | New Beginnings (Wattys2016)

Chapter 5: Boyfriend?

Esmee's POV:
I stood there in shock, not saying anything, barely holding onto the phone. "I-i'm not a stalker or anything!  I promise!" He said urgently.

"Sure..." I said sarcastically.

"Look, I'll prove it to you. How about we meet together at the park tomorrow? Then I'll show you I'm not a threat." He offered. I sighed.

"Fine." I said.

"Great! I'll see you there!" He said as he hang up. I sighed and put my phone in my pocket and put my hand on my forehead. Then I heard the door open behind me and I turned to see Tasha walking out.

"You ready to go?" She asked me, I nodded while staring at the ground. We both said bye to Keira and Courtney and got in her car. "Are you okay? You look a little troubled.." she asked as she started the car.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just overwhelmed. I'll explain when we get home." I said and leaned my head against the window. We pulled up to our dorm and got out of the car. We walked into the house and Tasha yawned.

"So, what was that phonecall about?" Tasha asked me, plopping onto the couch.

"Just some weird guy claiming to be my boyfriend. His name is Evan NightBlood."

Tasha looked up at me. "I've heard rumors about that guy... he's sort of a loner, and people call him a vampire."

"Oh great, more vampires." I sighed.

"It might just be people trying to get on his nerves with the whole "vampire" rumor. So he's pale and a loner, doesn't make him a vampire." Tasha shrugged.

"Well, I'll find out if he has hidden fangs or not," I said sitting next to Tasha.

*TIME SKIP TO THE NEXT DAY BROUGHT TO YOU BY CREATOR'S LAZINESS*

I woke up the next day and my head hurt a little bit, I got up while massaging my temples trying to get my headache to go away. I remembered I needed to go meet this Evan guy, so I guess I needed to look a bit more formal.

I got dressed in a long black dress with a big blue bow, and tied my hair up into a big bun. I also put a little skeleton kitty clip in my hair, just for fun.

"Whoa, look at you," I heard Tasha's voice behind me. I turned around to face her. "Getting all dressed up and pretty." She half grinned half smiled.

"Shush. I have to go meet Evan today, and i don't want to keep him waiting for long." I said and got my coat off the rack.

"Fine then, but i'm driving you," Tasha said grabbing her car keys. We walked outside and got in her car, then she drove me to the park. It was a pretty nice park, flowers everywhere, and trees were all over the place making the park pretty shaded.

"Have fun, Esmee," Tasha smiled at me. I sighed yet smiled at her and got out of the car, i walked until i saw a tall boy, around my age, in a suit waiting patiently for something, or someone.

"Um, excuse me, but might you be Evan? The one i'm supposed to meet?" I asked approaching him slowly.

"Yes, i am, so you must be-" he said as he turned around to face me, but instantly cut himself off once he saw me. "-Esmee....." he finished.

My eyes widened a little bit at his expression, pure shock. "W-what's that look for? Do i have something on my face?" I asked urgently, feeling my face to see if something was on it.

He shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck. "N-no, no, you don't have anything on your face. I-it's just that...you're so pretty and all.." he chuckled nervously.

I blushed slightly and smiled at his compliment. "Why thank you.." I giggled.

Evan smiled and walked towards me, holding out his arm. "Shall we walk?" He offered. I nodded and wrapped my arm around his and we both started walking, though the entire time i had the strange feeling of us being watched. 

Eventually me and Evan stopped at a bench once we got a little tired from walking. "So...." I started, biting my lip nervously and looking down. "We were getting quite a bit of awkward stares back there.. do you know what that's all about?" I asked him.

His kind smile slowly faded and he looked away. At first, i thought i struck a nerve and he wasn't going to say anything after that, which made me a little anxious, but shortly after he answered. "I get teased quite a bit around here.. for being really pale, being a loner, being really quiet, and not liking sunlight.. and eventually rumors started spreading around saying i'm a vampire because of all that." He sighed and looked down at his hands which rested on his lap. "It just irritates me, you know..?" he finished.

I reached over and gently held his hand in a reassuring and comforting way. "I know, it must be, being judged for who you are, and your appearance... and i'm sorry for bringing it up all of a sudden like that.." i said.

He looked up at me and smiled once more. "No, no, it's perfectly fine. You were only curious." He  said. I smiled back at him and suddenly he stood up. "It's been a while, want me to take you home now?" He asked.

"Yes please." I said getting up too, and he wrapped his arm around mine again. He walked me home and when we got to my doorstep he grabbed my hand.

"Hey Esmee? Umm.. before you leave, could i maybe do something first?" He asked, looking down at the ground shyly.

"Sure, what is it?"

He looked up, with romance shining in his eyes, along with something else that i couldn't tell what it was. "This." He said, before leaning in and kissing me on the cheek. I blushed bright red, but smiled at his sweetness. He pulled away, awaiting my answer to that.

"Thank you." I giggled. We both waved goodbye, and i opened the front door to my dorm and walked in while closing the door behind me. I sighed with a smile, and placed my hand on the cheek that Evan kissed with a bright blush. 

I walked upstairs, Tasha was already passed out in her bunk, and i climbed up the ladder to mine and made my way underneath the blankets and sheets. I layed my head down, closed my eyes, and thought myself to sleep. Though with every single thought, i couldn't stop thinking about Evan.
